Any Other Way: The Jackie Shane Story

Denied a second act, Shane is recognized with a heartfelt film that celebrates an undersung icon who lived her authentic self, sparkled on her own terms and defied the squares.

“Any Other Way” combines archival materials, interviews and animated reenactments into a compelling investigation of an elusive life, as well as a talent so striking you’ll be amazed it remained forgotten for so long.

It’s a gift to get to know her as co-directors Michael Mabbott and Lucah Rosenberg-Lee artfully stitch so much from so little archival material, aided by gorgeously animated interludes.

The filmmakers have made use of a gorgeous, painterly rotoscope animation that is both subtle and incisive.
